Re: juju deploys with a vsphere controller using hardware vm version 10

[John Meinel]

We've done some digging on this. It turns out that we can fairly easily
request VSphere to deploy the best version it knows about (ESXi 5.5
supports 10, 6.0 supports 11, 6.5 supports 13). It is fairly easy to change
our descriptor to request any of them, and we saw that 6.0 picked 11 and
ignored 13.

However, there seems to be a problem with the ubuntu image when booted in
version 11. We've filed a bug with the people generating the images, but it
starts to boot, but fails to get to a login prompt.

So while it is fairly easy for Juju to start requesting newer hardware
versions, there is a potential issue with the actual images not supporting
them.

Seems we should support a range of widely used versions, rather than
only the latest.

Yes, that would be great!  I am sure that 14 will become available soon
with a patch to vmware.  We are vmware version 6.5 which only presents
us with version 13.  There are supposed to be some significant
performance improvements between 10 and 13.

Hi Daniel

The Juju vSphere provider currently only supports hardware version 10, but 14 is
now the most recent according to the VMWare website. If we were simply to track
and support the most recent hardware version, would that work for you?

juju deploys with a vsphere controller using hardware vm version 10

[Daniel Bidwell]

Is there anyway to make the vsphere controller to deploy vms with
hardware vm version 13 instead of version 10?
